DECONSTRUCTING STRUCTURES CAN CREATE 20 TIMES MORE JOBS THAN THE DEMOLISHING THEM! Some of these jobs come from producing reclaimed products like milling trim from beams or building furniture from salvaged lumber. These 'VALUE-ADDED' jobs are growing with the deconstruction industry and can replace manufacturing jobs lost overseas. This page is meant to encourage and boost value-added operations around the USA.

Great example of reclaimed products: This
project by Green Partners of Lopez Island, WA, is a great example of
reuse. We deconstructed the cedar cabin that was located here and the
material was remilled by the owner to be used in the new space. It was estimated
that the savings over buying this material all over again new was enough to pay
for the deconstruction costs for the whole building
